The rest of the world is laughing at us.
Tuesday, December 23rd, 2003Well, at least the Brits are. It’s all because of our schizophrenic way of handling Christmas. They get how ridiculous we look chasing any sign of religion out of the public life. Yes folks, this is American post-modernism at its finest.
